Paull Funeral Home 3 Stars of the Week.

The Swan Valley Stampeders had an outstanding week, collecting 7 of 8 points against four different clubs last week.

The team was looking to rebound after an off week, only winning one game in five contests. Many struggles were apparent during that week but Head Coach and General Manager Geoff Grimwood, Associate Coach Suneil Karod, and the team worked through the mistakes, and did they ever correct them, playing a very structured game over their last four outings. The Stamps` went 3-0-1 last week, climbing their way back to third overall in the MJHL standings. As a result, making this another hard pick for three stars of the week.

The Stampeders now sit with a record of 11-4-2, and find themselves in third place overall.

The “Three Stars of the Week” returns this year thanks to Paull Funeral Home & Crematorium.
The Three Stars of the Week will be awarded week-to-week with points being collected throughout the season. The top three players will be presenter an awarded before our final home game of the regular season.

Three stars point system is as follows:

1st Star = 5 points
2nd Star = 3 points
3rd Star = 1 point

Check back every Monday for the Paull Funeral Home & Crematorium, Three Stars of the week.
